Don't look too impressive, yet Keith Edwards is saying it was a "very good performance". I feel a bit confused.

2nd Half sounded like we had better pressure, but they seemed to hit the post with every attack

 

[Wards]

Just on way home. We didn't play well at all.

Toothless upfront but service shocking 1st half. Better 2nd and had good chances to get back in it.

Played too much long ball at times and never got our wide men into it. Not sure why we took Porter off as he was winning a lot. Beattie was v poor, as was Quinny.

I'd start with Flynn and O'Halloran on Saturday week. Looked much more dangerous with these two on.

quinn is usually poor.. is the penny starting to drop i wonder?? beats has had it.. sorry mate
so we lost one in a bad week psychologically against the fourth place outfit on a run pressing for playoff spot.. not exactly titanic esque

It's just a shame about that 96th minute goal at Hillsborough. Had that not happened,we would be looking very comfortable in spite of everything.

 

[Foxy]

Was a slow start from the Blades. Looked lethargic. Midfield were poor in terms of movement and also gave up a few times tracking back.

Made enough chances second half to get something from the game but we just didn't have a composed final touch.

Badly needed a captain's performance anywhere on the pitch today, we didn't have a leader.

At the time did you want us to go with three strikers?

 

[Wards]

Not necessarily, we were creating. Taking off Porter lost our rhythm a bit, O'Halloran should've played instead of Hoskins (who it seems is playing with a double hernia by the way).

 

[Wards]

Oh and from Twitter (yes, I know), Quinny has said to a fan he didn't fancy it today when DW told him how we'd be playing. Unbelievable.

We were second best.

 

[BexleyBlade]

Those stats are inaccurate anyway. Doyle sent a tame shot straight down the keepers throat and a header in the first half was on target.

 

[dingledog]

It was grim, back home in Huddersfield and can't believe how bad we were, being a blade for 54 years, I fear the worst. It was dire.

And Quinn would tell a random fan that information because ???? Deffo not true.

You'd have to suggest that if indeed it is Quinny's true version of events it perhaps may not paint the full picture... I'm sure they'd have been working on the game plan most of the week... not just turned up in the dressing room from the hotel to have an unfavorable game plan sprung on them?

Porter took a knock which is why I think he came off to be honest. I would def start with Flynn next week, at least he tries to beat his man and looked a threat when he came on

 

[Wards]

You would hope so.

Anyway, just passing on what's been said/hasn't been said.

0 shot on target? Doyle attempted placed shot was on target also Porter's header was too. both were saved comfortably by the keeper
